Default Can you be banned if third party updates your linK?

Was a bit worried about this as a friend fell foul to this type of thing a number of years ago. For example if I post a link to a webpage where a guy have posted ten pictures of his custom car and nothing else, and then after its been on a post for a number of days he then adds two more photos of his nude girlfriend sprawled across the bonnet/hood of the said car, would I be banned or in trouble? SJForums have been noted to be rather draconian in sticking to rules and I wanted to avoid any chance of annoying anyone.

We don't generally discuss hypothetical situations. Suffice it to say that we would listen to the explanation and probably be ok with just removing the link.

A version of that kind of happened to me on the forums 11 or 12 years ago. A 'friend' or player in my game made a link related to the GURPS campaign I was running. Got a Tempa-ban because I didn't know what else was on my player's page that I had linked to ....

No, you got a tempban for reinstating the link after a mod deleted it and warned you not to link to porn.

Friend in question is special needs and no satisfactory explanation was provide to explain clearly what was actually the problem of the changed link. His care worker emailed and never received a reply. Friend cut his loses and moved onto other forum. Suffice to say he was extremely upset for "doing something wrong" at time, but has gotten over it in nine or so years since. I can speak up for myself and just wished clarification on the guidelines. thanks.
